History in the Making
by Skimming
It’s Election Day, 10:00pm Pacific Time, and the future of the country hangs in the balance.
How did we get here?
Did anyone realize how divided a country we are? Along race lines, gender lines, values, beliefs, ideas of democracy and what the United States of America stands for?
It’s been a long journey, seeing the two main parties arrive at the two candidates who are fighting for their lives and our futures. and I really never thought it would come to this.
What do the next four years hold for us as a country? No matter who wins, it’s clear that there is a large number of people who won’t be happy with the result. How do we move forward as the “UNITED” states, not the “DIVIDED” states?
This campaign has been eye opening for me in so many ways. I’ve been surprised at what people will believe. I’ve been surprised at how much racism and sexism still exists at very deep levels all over the country. I’ve been surprised at what people will ignore or dismiss to be able to justify their choices. I’ve been surprised at how people will make decisions that go against their own interests.
How do we move forward from here? What will the history books say about this election? What will tomorrow look like?

Hey, Sophia, I enjoyed reading your new musings. Good luck on motherhood. From my experience, luck plays a big part so if you can, just relax and enjoy. Great that you’re taking time for yourself too.
Your questions about what has happened to us as a society and as a country are tough. I look forward to hearing what you think and about your new adventures.
